That joke in the comic was Bleedman's idea, the one for the news post on here was mine.

I'm still kind of face-palming at Gabriel being a little kid (Seriously, Bleedman, can we get one comic without the little kids?) but I think the writing make this worth it. I'm now stuck with the mental image of these badass angelic warriors punching in to work every day, going on lunch breaks, etc. I wonder how much being an angel pays? Do they get dental?

Also, a bit off topic but it's in your sig staring me in the face: What is going on with Fish Quarry? As much as I enjoy Skull Boy, I've been wanting to see Fish Quarry going places ever since I saw Punk's design (Seriously, he's awesome).

This is going to surprise you, possibly shock you, may even upset you. But this comic isn't made by Bleedman. All he does is the art, its Skull-Boy's.

So you're criticizing the wrong guy.

This is going to surprise you, possibly shock you, may even upset you. But character designs are the job of the artist. Unless Greg says Lil' Gabe was his idea, I'm going to continue to assume that it was an artistic choice made by the guy who has no less than three separate comics starring a cast of primarily preteens.

Also, nothing pisses me off more than when someone with power on a forum acts like an asshole.

"Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved. His legs were stretched out before him, showing high boots of supple leather that fitted him well, but had seen much wear and were now caked with mud. A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth was drawn close about him, and in spite of the heat of the room he wore a hood that overshadowed his face; but the gleam of his eyes could be seen as he watched the hobbits."

Yup.

You may continue with your assumptions, but remember that this isn't Bleedman's comic. none of his "artistic" takes are going to be permitted unless Skull-Boy approves of it.

So stop crediting Bleedman, and give it to the guy who owns the comic.

Then he shouldn't be a mod.

Anyways the argument is moot. I know full well that Greg is writing this thing, but I guess somehow Bleedman can be the artist and yet not have any control at all over how things look, because Blood Lord says so and a guy with that many glowing testimonials in his sig can never be wrong. I'll be frank, you're an egotistical jerk and it's been bothering me ever since I started posting around here. But this isn't the place to discuss that, and I don't feel like getting banned because you won some sort of popularity contest. I've already let you troll me enough.

Well, you can always go to the EA section and discuss it with me there. That would allow other people who feel the same way as you come forth and talk about any problems as well. You can always PM me too. Its been a long standing policy of mine that if someone has a problem to just send me a message and discuss it.

You have to discuss it in a civilized manner though, or I do ban/warn you for harassment.

I'm hoping I can set a few things straight to your questions, as I appreciate feedback, and sorry if I didn't answer fast enough, this weekend was pretty busy for me. So, to make one thing clear, Bleedman is the one who comes up with designs for characters outside of my own, and I pretty much let him do his own thing with it. It's mostly his story as well, so I think it's okay to consider this mostly a Bleedman comic with my stamp of approval on it.

Basically I let him do what he wants and I chime in when I don't like something, I have no problem with Gabriel's design, I'm really into the idea of a badass being in a rather nonthreatening form, especially with such a feminine appearance, that just makes it lean towards even more comedic possibilities.

Also, about Fish Quarry, I'm really glad you're interested and I'm sorry for the long wait, I've been sitting on it a while and have recently decided to start making finished pages for the comic to release soon. Things are going well, and the reason for the long wait has mostly been due to me being very protective of this project, and I feel confident enough to start releasing real material, as opposed to more concept art.

To be clear, it's not so much that I dislike Gabriel. It's more just an eye-rolling at Bleedman finding a reason to draw another preteen character, and the dashing of a minor hope that we could get through a comic without another loli/shota character. Naturally, you can't please everybody and some people aren't going to like certain aspects, but on the whole I'm liking the comic. Though a large part of me is looking forward to the return of the proper Skull Boy comics, as they brought a variation in flavor this site has been sorely in need of. One cannot live by Bleedman alone, after all.
